We can all agree that 1999 belongs to Soul Calibur, right?



Final Fantasy XIII? Really? That game ran at what? 25 fps on the PS3 and 20 fps on the 360? I think any game without a perfectly consistent 30+ fps should be disqualified. Even the WiiU could run a better looking game than Uncharted 4 at 1 frames per hour.

I have my Dreamcast hooked up using VGA cables and I am still amazed how great the game looks 16 years later. It was truly a masterpiece and stills plays better than most fighters released today.

No. 

MGS4 textures look horrible.

2001 - I'd argue Halo looks better.

2002 - People generally say Splinter Cell on Xbox.

2003 - F-Zero? No, just no. Panzer Dragoon Orta looked much better.

2005 - Quake 4 looks arguably better. But it certainly had to be a 360 game.

2008 - Gears 2 is the better looking game.

2012 - I was more impressed with Halo 4.

F zero gx destroyed panzer dragoon orta.



Where is RE4 on the Gamecube?



Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Seen quite a few people saying Killzone Shadowfall for 2013, they're not wrong just have a look at some of the direct feed screens ;)

Seriously?

Final Fantasy XIII on PS3 has an extremely solid framerate. Even running around Gran Pulse I don't notice it drop a frame below 30.

Xbox 360's framerate is pretty good too, minus issues with particular Chapters.
